I have been down this road and ended up scrapping the idea, XBMC will run fine from LMCE or I should say Kubuntu. You would need to create a computing app that would run XBMC inside of LMCE, which seems to be a bit of a task, this is why your movie is stopping every hour or so.

I just built a 2nd PC in the same location as the core and I am running XBMC live only on it and I set it up as a new device in the web-admin and can choose it from the media menu on the orbiter LMCE then just accesses the new pc as an A/V device switching the inputs on my TV and RCVR to the proper ones for XBMC then when I am finshed I just click menu on my remote and it takes me back to the orbiter.

It probably wouldn't take much to modify the cromwell bios to tftp a bootloader so it can netboot.... but getting decent performance out of it as you said will be a task... linux on xbox was kinda slow last time I ran it...
